VOCIAL IS A PLACE FOR EVERYDAY LIFE A thought on the subway, a story told while waiting for laundry, a quiet walk through the city with something on your mind. You don't need a perfect backdrop to have something worth sharing. Just your phone, your voice, your perspective, and the sounds of the world around you. There's something worth listening to in the lives we actually live. LISTEN & DISCOVER Explore stories, opinions, rants, conversations, music, and moments across different topics and communities. Search for people and posts, or discover something new through curated categories. SPEAK & CONNECT Record and share your voice in seconds. Reply with voice comments, react, follow people you enjoy listening to, or take the conversation private with Direct Messages. Send text, voice messages, and photos when the conversation doesn’t need to be public. RECORD ANYWHERE Your thought doesn’t have to stop when you leave the app. On iOS, keep recording in the background or from the Lock Screen, with your recording always within reach. SHARE BEYOND VOCIAL Your voice doesn’t have to stay inside the app. Share public posts with anyone through a simple link — no Vocial account required to listen. Turn any post into a video in seconds, complete with an animated waveform, ready to share on Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and beyond — or save it to your gallery. Shared posts also include a transcript, making them easy to listen to or read anywhere.

YapYap is the social network where everything is voice. No typing, no drafts, no overthinking — just talk. Record a yap and share what's on your mind in seconds. Listen to what others have to say. Leave voice comments. Build real connections through the sound of your voice — tone, laughter, sarcasm, all the things text can't carry. Why voice? We lost something when social media became all text. You can't hear a laugh in "lol." You can't feel excitement in an exclamation point. You can't tell if someone's being sarcastic or serious in a DM. Your voice carries everything text leaves behind. YapYap brings that back. What you can do: - Record and post voice yaps in seconds - Listen to yaps from people around the world - Leave voice comments on yaps you love - Set yaps to disappear in 24 hours with ephemeral mode - Control playback speed — 1x, 1.5x, or 2x - Bookmark yaps to listen again later - Add text corrections to clarify something you said - Follow people whose voice you want to hear more of - Discover trending topics through hashtags - Search for users and conversations - Mute, block, or report — you're always in control YapYap Pro: Upgrade for extended recording time, priority in the discovery feed, and a Pro badge on your profile. Built by Altros Studios. Your voice says what text can't. https://www.yapyap.one/terms/
